The Sage of Einar

Chapter 396 - The Naval Battle Of The Century 2/4

Einar's ship advanced into the sea, and the warriors prepared to use their weapons.

It did not take long for them to see an enemy ship which was close to where they were, so the ship advanced towards it.

The crew of the enemy ship simply prepared their weapons to attack from a distance while trying to get away because they were afraid of the destructive power of those ships.

Not to mention that the ship that was approaching them was quite different from what they could see at sea, so they were scared.

The priest in charge of the ship gave the order to retreat. "You have to move faster in this crap, use the damn oars if necessary.

If we don't get out of this place, that damned ship behind us will end up killing us. "

The crew quickly made their way to the bottom of the boat and pulled out their oars so they could begin rowing to increase speed.

.

Einar, seeing that they were moving away, ordered that the two sails be lowered, so the ship advanced at more speed.

The priest gulped and looked at the crew. "Increase the damn speed the enemy is approaching and I am too young to die.

Use whips to increase speed. I don't care if you have to use; I want you to get me away from that ship. "

Einar, who was measuring the distance using his spyglass, realized that it was safe to shoot the enemy ship, so he smirked as he walked to one of the ballistas.

When he took the ballista, he aimed it at an upward inclined angle and, after doing some small calculations, he fired the large explosive arrow.

The priest, who was shouting, felt a danger heading towards him, so when he turned his head, he looked in horror as a gigantic arrow approached his chest.

At that moment, he looked at everything in slow motion and could see how the arrow pierced him in the chest and threw him towards the ground. The last thing he could do was blink because, at that moment, an explosion ended his life.

The explosion damaged the ship's rudder so it couldn't move anywhere.

Einar, seeing the explosion that it caused, ordered another giant arrow to be reloaded into the ballista. When it was loaded, Einar fired again.

This time the shot destroyed the rear of the ship, so it began to sink. Einar nodded happily and gave the order to face another enemy ship.

While this was happening on the battlefield, the situation was one-sided as Einar's ships hunted down all the enemies in the place.

One of the ships that was being surrounded by enemy ships used its ballistas and the soldiers held their crossbows to be able to fight.

Although the crossbows were tasked with destroying most of the ships, they were like an endless pack of wolves, so when they got close enough.

The crusader archers began firing their arrows at the ship of the northern nation's fleet in front of them.

The soldiers, to protect themselves from the arrows, used their steel plate shields, with which they stopped most of the enemy arrows.

As the rain of arrows passed, the soldiers raised their repeating crossbows and fired at the enemies.

The explosive bolts proved their power by completely killing most of the archers in the nearby ships.

His fear grew greater and greater as the crossbows began to fire with increasing speed.

This caused the ships that were surrounding the ship to stop getting very close because, in just that short exchange of minutes, at least 15 ships had sunk.

When the enemy ships moved away, the captain of the ship gave the order to use the Nordic fire launcher to kill the enemies and create an exit point.

When the Nordic fire came out, the enemy ship that was near the jet of fire could only continue advancing while it burned.

The cries for help only added to the hundreds of cries already in the sea water for the hundreds of survivors who had somehow survived.

The ship, after launching its Nordic fire, managed to get out of that detour where it was, but although he was lucky, others could not say the same.

Near where he was, a mad priest had ordered his ship to ram a Norse ship in the side.

As they approached the Nordic ship, the ballistas shot at it but although they did a lot of damage and created a hole that began to sink it.

He managed to arrive at full speed to be able to hit the side of the Nordic ship, which caused it to split in half.

Destroying in the process the vases of Nordic fire and because of the impact, a gigantic ballista arrow exploded, so a horrible explosion was created.

When Greek fire and explosive ammunition exploded, the blast was so strong that at least four nearby enemy ships suffered severe damage from the blast.

Einar, when he saw the explosion, only sighed because he knew that one of his precious ships had been completely destroyed, but that was a sacrifice because it was impossible to leave this battlefield completely unscathed.

But he was sure that if one of his ships was destroyed, at least ten enemy ships would be destroyed, which might seem like little but was more than enough to guarantee that the entire enemy fleet would die.

Einar, who was looking with his spyglass, looked at a group of 10 ships that were approaching from the front, so he ordered to prepare to be able to fight because he did not intend to be intimidated by a group of enemy ships.

When the boats got close enough, the exchange of ballista arrows began between the boats.

Einar only laughed when one of those gigantic arrows pierced a warrior next to him. It was the first time in a long time that he felt such a strong adrenaline.

So at that time, he walked to one of the ballistas that was without operating because his operator had died.

Aiming with a smile, he fired at the bottom of the enemy ship so that it blew a hole in the waterline.

At that moment the enemy ship start to sink.
